Carnivore diet
Carnivore diet is a monotrophic diet that involves eating only meat. It has attracted criticism from nutritionists in regards to being potentially damaging to health,[1][2][3] as well as various anecdotes and case studies claiming health benefits.
Description
Proponents, who include Joe Rogan,[4][5] Jordan Peterson,[6] Shawn Baker[7] and the like, have reported anecdotal successes of putting into remission medical conditions such as arthritis,[8] fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, migraines, IBS and chronic mental illness[9], as well as autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.[10]
People following a carnivore diet consume only animal-based products like beef, pork, poultry, and seafood; and some may also eat eggs, dairy, and milk.[11] They avoid anything plant-based such as fruits and vegetables.[12]
Although health benefits claimed of carnivore diet come primarily from anecdotes, there have been medical case studies as well. A variation of carnivore diet known as Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet (PKD)[13] is reported to have successfully managed tumour growth (see cancer)[14] and Type 1 diabetes.[15]
In ethnic groups
The Inuit traditionally followed a carnivore diet―eating number of meats such as seal, whale, caribou and fish, while rarely eating plant fiber. In addition, they ate "every part of the animal" (see offal) and some of it raw (raw meat).[16]
The ethnic group native to northern arctic Russia, Nenets, ate mainly reindeer meat and fish.[17][18]
